This song is about a guy who burrows his uncle’s Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta for a Sunday drive, the song was inspired by a short story called "A Nice Morning Drive".
Neil Peart, Rush drummer/lyricist, who had joined Rush a couple of years earlier, and who has been a sports car enthusiast all his life, decided to write a song for the band featuring a science fiction story line inspired by an article he read about Modern Safety Vehicles (MSV's) that could damage older, pre-safety-bumper cars without incurring any harm themselves. He also portrayed a more extreme, futuristic setting involving a man-and-machine confrontation with The Man and a totalitarian world that had outlawed cars altogether. "Red Barchetta" first appeared on the "Moving Pictures" album and became one of Rush's top ten all-time songs.
